30 Minutes of Relaxing Roman Music and Ambience
Музыка
Music and vocals by Farya Faraji. The painting is Conversation by the Spring, by Henryk Siemiradzki. The instruments used are ancient Greco-Roman instruments, but this is by no means an archeological rendering of ancient roman music. I use chords and triads in parts of the music, which is basically projecting modern Western composition techniques onto Greco-Roman music, which is generally thought to have wandered somewhere between monophony and heterophony, and the use of chords back then is not accepted by all academicians.

2 HOURS OF ANCIENT GREEK RELAXING MUSIC: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZZmLxcxrd664qtI.html There's a lot of Latin students and history students coming to this vid, so I thought I'd leave the text to the poem you hear at 3:47 in case anyone's interested! It's "Catullus 5." vīvāmus mea Lesbia, atque amēmus, rūmōrēsque senum sevēriōrum omnēs ūnius aestimēmus assis! sōlēs occidere et redīre possunt: nōbīs cum semel occidit brevis lūx, nox est perpetua ūna dormienda. dā mī bāsia mīlle, deinde centum, dein mīlle altera, dein secunda centum, deinde ūsque altera mīlle, deinde centum. dein, cum mīlia multa fēcerīmus, conturbābimus illa, ne sciāmus, aut nē quis malus invidēre possit, cum tantum sciat esse bāsiōrum. Let us live, my Lesbia, and let us love, and let us value all the rumors of more severe old men at only a penny! Suns are able to set and return: when once the short light has set for us one perpetual night must be slept by us. Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred, then another thousand, then a second hundred, then immediately a thousand then a hundred. then, when we will have made many thousand kisses, we will throw them into confusion, lest we know, or lest anyone bad be able to envy when he knows there to be so many kisses. I tried as best I could to emulate Classical Latin pronunciation and especially the distinction between long and short vowels, which was of extreme importance in Latin--however the reverberation effect might cloud some of the pronunciation, such as the nasalised endings in words like "centum," and I'm also skeptical of overly well enunciated reconstructions; humans don't casually speak in an hyper enunciated manner and often mutter or under-pronounce certain sounds, which I tried to do with this reading to give it a more natural, visceral feel, so if you want a very clear example of this poem spoken perfectly, I recommend ScorptioMartianus' channel--I always refer to his videos for my pronunciations in Latin.

Reminds me of when i was a kid in Puerto Rico and staring at the paintings in my catholic school of scenes from Paul being in greece preaching. Id just be chillin waiting for the nun to finish, hearing the bugs singing outside and birds. Windows and doors open letting in the warm carribean breeze of San Juan, and the tropical trees rustling with it. Everyone around me chillin waiting to play Yu-Gi-Oh cards in the court yard area. Different world really. Its still good today tho. Life is still good
I would do everything to be in Ancient Rome and speak Latin with the people for just one day! Amazing work!

I don't consider myself a fine connoisseur of art or music, and I've never studied art nor ancient music. Still, I recognize good music when I hear it. It is like a massage for the ears and the brain, releasing tension and bringing a sense of relaxation. And this is that type of music. And I certainly know nothing about paintings, but I do agree, it was a good choice, and I like to blow it up to full screen and look at it while I listen to the music and contemplate the rise and fall of empires.

I absolutely love this! It is such a luck that I accidently met it on KZread. When I listen to it I have a strong nostalgia and my memory goes back to the 5th year of school. I was 11 and there were the first history lessons of the Ancient time (Greece and Rome). The love to antiquity started then. These were always sunny days, I heard something like this music on these history classes. Absolutely wonderful!
This music is the closest feeling there is of experiencing Roman Civilisation

Thanks Vladimiro! The text is indeed grammatically correct; I read them from Latin texts directly. However the pronunciation might not be completely perfect in the first part, when you hear two people talking: I used Classical Pronunciation so it should be about 90% accurate, however I didn't have info on vowel length for that text-Latin had very distinct short and long vowels, and some vowels might have been pronounced too short in that first dialogue you hear.

It's 3 BC. The first weeks of spring have gifted you warmer days and flowers in the ager, you can even see some fruits around the market. With spring came mosquitos that bug you a little bit, plus your mother is afflicted with malaria since yesterday, but well, bad air can come at any time in the year. There's garum to put on the onions and pork you're having later for dinner. Life is good.

Good ear, you're not too far off! I took the dialogue from a little "Latin basics" handbook; how accurate it is, I can't say, but the young man basically asks for directions to the nearest latrines, and the old man, after pointing him to the right, asks him where he's from, and the young man says Mediolanium as you heard :)
